Toronto police now have a dedicated presence in North York’s Lawrence Heights neighbourhood, a commitment Chief Myron Demkiw made in the days following a June 2025 mass shooting that killed a 31-year-old man in a wheelchair and injured six others. On Wednesday, Demkiw joined Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow and local Coun. Mike Colle, as well as community members, for the grand opening of a new safety hub.
